      Don’t be too hard on them… I’d be wishing for luck too, if I had problems and refused to solve them

        It’s not that they refuse to do anything, they just refuse to do anything that would challenge the power of the capitalist class.

          Change they to we.

          Whether the goal is political action or direct action; Get organized.

          Local organizations become regional, regional become national.

          If “They” are not going to save us, “We” have to do it.

          Organize, vote, act.

          So called “communists” are also contributing massively to the problem. Though one could argue they’re really just capitalist too.

      Hoping that the situation solves itself without having to make hard decisions or, Gott bewahre, sacrifices.

      “We all know what to do, but we don’t know how to get re-elected once we have done it.”

      Career politicians are a cancer.

      There are Rules for Rulers. In the background there are always nobels, clergy, bankers, businessmen, military and the common folk each with their own demands and reasons to pressure or remove the ruler of their demands are not met.

      There are a enough examples of leaders trying to change too much and being assassinated. Although these days that’s more killed in the media.
